Hammer Bro Mario fighting Basilisx
A Hammer Bros. Suit is an item used in Super Mario Bros. Z by Mario, which gives the obtainer the ability to don a black catsuit and throw Hammers. It first appeared in Episode 8 for Mario to fight Captain Basilisx. Mario lost this suit at the end of this battle.
Origin[]
The Hammer Bros. Suit first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. (most notably in Ice Land) Mario or Luigi could throw unlimited amounts of Hammers and be invulnerable to a piranha plants fire breath, but in Super Mario Bros. Z, it's different. The player could duck, revealing that the suit had a shell on the back of it, making the player invulnerable (the shell was like a Buzzy Beetles shell).
In Super Mario Bros. Z[]
As explained up above, the Hammer combat style is different in Super Mario Bros. Z. Mario would gain only 2 Hammers to battle with Basilisx, using them to attack like how Basilisx used his wolverine-like claws. However, nothing else changed from that point.
